The jacket is waterproof. Must have: waterproof jacket. We have compiled our wish list of men's waterproof jackets

A jacket is an important element of equipment for the modern outdoor enthusiast. For fishing, hunting or trekking to be comfortable and successful, it is necessary that the jacket meets several requirements.

The jacket must be waterproof, because fishing involves direct “communication” with the water element. And the weather sometimes brings surprises in the form of prolonged rain. Recommended resistance to water is about 6000-10000 mm water column and more.

In order to protect kidneys and other organs from wind blowing, it is better to choose models of waterproof jackets for fishing mid-thigh length. Also, in order to retain heat inside the jacket, it would not be superfluous to have adjustable hood, high collar and sleeves with Velcro cuffs.

When choosing a warm winter fishing jackets In addition to the properties listed above, it is important to have good thermal insulation properties. As a rule, synthetic insulation is used - fleece or others. They are lightweight and dry well if they get wet.

And if you are going hunting, then you should additionally take into account such parameters of the jacket as noiselessness and color. The jacket should not rustle or make any extraneous sounds when used.

The colors are selected in accordance with the season in order to be as invisible as possible against the background of nature. This is the so-called camouflage or camouflage robe in winter.

In addition, for comfortable long-term use, the jacket must have anatomical cut and pockets, where you can put all the necessary small things.

Trekking jackets suitable for active movement. For example, for active fishing, hunting with long treks, mountain tourism and working with ropes, and just for daily walks around the city.

Jackets should also be waterproof and, when wet, dry quickly in the wind. Trekking jackets often have a detachable warm lining, which can be used as an independent item of clothing when parked. This allows you to reduce the weight of your backpack while hiking.

As for manufacturing materials, membrane materials are often used in the production of trekking jackets. They allow water vapor to pass through, but are waterproof and protect from wind.

Smart advice

When wearing such clothing, it is important to follow the principle of two or three layers. To ensure that the moisture evaporating from the body comes out of the jacket, and does not condense under the influence of external cold on the lining, it is necessary to use thermal underwear and/or an insulating layer made of synthetic fabrics - fleece or Polartek.

Getting wet in the rain on a short walk or short run is very unpleasant. And tens of kilometers from civilization, such troubles can become a serious obstacle, threatening the long-awaited exciting adventure.

Therefore, the number one must-have for every supporter of outdoor activity is a high-quality waterproof jacket. It will easily protect both from a short but violent downpour, and from a tediously long rain that drizzles all day long. Living in the 21st century and welcoming new high-tech developments, we urge you to abandon the everyday use of oilcloth-polyethylene raincoats unless there is a real need for it. In a modern waterproof jacket, the membrane functions as protection against rain.

Characteristics and indicators

The membrane in the raincoat, being a barrier from external moisture, easily allows steam to pass through, which means that even at high temperatures physical activity excess moisture is effectively removed from the body. Now you can sweat and feel dry and comfortable.

Today, the two most common membrane options are:

porous- working due to the size and shape of pores that allow water vapor molecules to pass through and not water molecules to pass through in various directions;
poreless- “breathable” due to a special polymer structure.

When choosing a model of a membrane waterproof jacket, carefully look at:

vapor permeability indicators(the ability of the membrane to “breathe”) - measured in g/m2/24 hours or on the RET scale from 2 to 13;
moisture resistance level(water resistance, water resistance) - measured in mm of water column;
wind resistance(windproofness, wind resistance) – fabric resistance to wind, in m/s;
wear resistance;
amount of insulation– measured in grams.

When choosing the amount of insulation, we advise you to pay attention to the manufacturer’s recommendations for comfort temperature, because Each material has its own heat capacity and, for example, high-tech multi-component insulation Thinsulate weighing 40 grams will warm better than classic holofiber with similar indicators. Summer models waterproof windbreakers do not have insulation, autumn-spring ones are marked from 0 to 40 grams of insulation, winter ones - from 40 and above.

Good moisture resistance values range from 10,000 to 20,000 mm water column. The higher the number, the closer you are to 100% protection. Values below 5000 mm significantly limit the duration of exposure to rain and force one to take into account its intensity.

Assessing the breathable properties of a membrane is rather unclear. You can focus on the difference in values within the same brand (the lower the RET, the higher the breathability), but it should be borne in mind that this mechanism only works effectively if there is a significant difference in temperature inside the jacket (warmth and moisture from the body) and outside (cold wind and rain). In general, the vapor permeability parameter is quite subjective, but really important, because good air exchange prevents the body from overheating.

Many manufacturers, apparently as a bonus, coat their products with moisture-repellent impregnation, which is undoubtedly an advantage and quite effective, however, such impregnation gradually loses its properties after each wash.

Everything is clear, which one to buy?

Choose suitable model It's not always easy. We helped define the search scope based on the required values and indicators. Focus on your favorite brands, colors and styles, without forgetting about your budget.

Our favorite: Marmot MINIMALIST JACKET. It can't boast of a low price, but it's worth it. Having bought it, no one has ever regretted wasting money. Really high quality, loved and respected by professionals and active users. High water resistance of 25,000 mm that works. In order for it to get wet through and through, you will have to walk in heavy rain all day. Excellent objective and “feel” breathability and wind protection. Taped seams and carefully thought-out pocket placement provide even greater comfort. And of course, stylish minimalism!

Good choice:
Jacket The North Face Venture. A popular model from a leading manufacturer that features impressive features and more at an affordable price. This windbreaker weighs, on average, only 300 grams. Reliably protects from summer rain and features many pleasant options, such as a soft lining with ventilation zippers, functional pockets and reliable fittings.

The relaxed fit, adjustable, roomy hood, 100% windproof and highly waterproof, durable outer fabric and unique compact fold make this raincoat ideal for travel and unplanned use in unexpectedly extreme weather.

For fans Russian brands: I'll definitely love this well-designed and inexpensive jacket Alloy Balance. It weighs a little more than the previously reviewed models - depending on the size, from 640 to 733 grams. But this is an insignificant drawback, which is fully compensated by the characteristics, price-quality ratio and wearing comfort. For example, a water resistance of 10,000 mm will allow you to walk calmly in the rain, and you will definitely not get wet for several hours. The developers have provided drawstrings not only along the bottom of the jacket, but also along the top of the collar. Thanks to this, the cold wind will not blow away the heat, and raindrops will not fall on your neck. Removable and adjustable hood, five conveniently located and other bonuses.

Affordable price: and finally, if the main criterion when choosing is cost, a waterproof windbreaker Talpa. It costs much less than the models discussed above. Moreover, its water resistance is 10,000 mm - a fairly good indicator. The cord allows you to tighten the windbreaker at the bottom, and Velcro on the sleeves, ensuring reliable protection from wind, cold and precipitation. Two spacious external pockets are suitable for storing gloves and other useful things, and the internal one will reliably protect documents, money and other valuables from getting wet.
